    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

:clap: Well played my friend. Dig'n the enthusiasm prior to dieing on your first project. If I were you I would get a torque wrench and a spec of all the bolts and go to town. Good luck.
 
yes ill chaulk it up to enthusiasm. now ill take a deep breath and get the torque wrench. also , I got this proj in january. my goal was to have it ready for bike week here on south padre island to i can irritate the harley riders. looks like im missing it by a week or two. oh well it was a minor goal anyway.
 
started out to take it to work on a 20 mile round trip shakedown cruise. got on the expressway and realised i didnt have my work keys, so turned back. pulled back out from my street to a busier one. gunned it slightly on a patch of fine gravel and it started to fishtail but i saved it and the tire caught and away i safely went. this is my 1st four cyl and im finding out is likes to take off! also found i need to put in some fork seals real soon. pics will follow when i paint the tank and put on the seat cover tuesday.
 

heres the latest pic. covered the seat with "carbon fiber" pattern seat cover. still need to give the tank a finished coat and decals. kinda looks like my 07 bonneville black that i no longer have.

i did it that way. I wish it was a simple as sending a pic via email. Just attach from file on the computer.

this is the fina product with the exception of decals. sorry I just cant figure out how to get clickable thumbnails. Took it out on the hightway and am blownaway. get over 70 and it jumps to 90 effortlessly. almost scary. Ive been lucky in that the charging system has been good and everything works. Just some carb tweeking. love it.
